The Lake Forest real estate market remained active in July 2026, with limited inventory, quick movement on well-priced homes, and some notable differences between successful sales and listings that failed to connect with buyers.The biggest takeaway this month is that buyers are still willing to move quickly when they see value.

This week, we’re kicking things off with another round of Buy, Sell, or Hold, where we put some bold real estate claims to the test. Did 71% of Realtors really not sell a single home in 2025? And is real estate actually overrated and a terrible way to make money? We’re buying, selling, or holding these takes and breaking down what the numbers really mean for agents and the industry.Then, we look at the departure from—and return to—seasonality in real estate. After several unusual years in the housing market, are the traditional rhythms of busy and slow seasons finally coming back?And with football season around the corner, we finish things off with a much more important debate: our Mount Rushmore of tailgating foods. Wings? Chili? Burgers? Dips? We’re picking the four foods that deserve a permanent spot in the tailgating hall of fame.Real estate hot takes, housing market trends, and questionable food opinions—this episode has a little bit of everything.Submit your questions for Jay and Ryan to answer on the podcast here!

Grant Cardone says Bitcoin is basically real estate you can take anywhere—but are we buying that comparison? Plus, we tackle a much bigger question: Are we actually in a housing crisis?From taxes and Bitcoin to affordability and the state of the housing market, there’s plenty to debate in this one.Submit your questions for Jay and Ryan to answer on the podcast here!
